I have a 6yr old Arab Gelding. I have been trying to get him to stay on the bit, with no success. I have tried side reins, martingales, sursingles, ect. I can get his head to drop into the bit but he wont stay there. The second I let off the pressure, his head comes up everytime. I've tried holding his head down with pressure without releasing and he will stay there but it's exhausting because he is fighting me for the bit the whole time. The more I hold his head in the right place the more he pulls and trys to put his head back up. At this point both of us are frusterated with this exercise. I have had 2 trainers try to cure him and he's too stuborn to change his head placement. If anyone can help I would appreciate it.
